I have hands-on experience caring for children, pets, and the elderly, and I understand the responsibility these roles require. I create safe, nurturing, and fun environments for kids while supporting their routines and needs. I am experienced in pet care, including feeding, walking, and daily attention, and I provide compassionate support to elderly individuals, assisting with daily activities and companionship. I also help with household services, including cleaning, organizing, and meal preparation. My background includes working as a teacher’s assistant, interning at a middle school, and serving as a caregiver for more than a year. I currently care for my brother’s dog when he’s away. These experiences have strengthened my reliability, patience, and commitment to providing attentive, responsible care.

Mavis 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

I have been caregiving for the past 10 years, I am passionate about everything I do and my top priority is always my clients safety. I communicate always with the clients family and I am also at all times available and willing to work. I oversee the welfare and social emotional need with the logistics and planning of any activities the client wishes to participate in. I treat my patients like my family.

Ms. Mavis is one of the best people for whom I have worked with. She was so patient, understanding and just overall showed so much care for my child. When my husband and I decided to move away, it was hard because we thinking of the childcare. I wish I could move with her, lol. If we ever move back, I definitely know who to call. She is an amazing person and the best nanny.

Kaila $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Kaila. I've been working with kids and pets since I was 14, and caregiving has always come naturally to me. For the past four years, I have done ABA therapy as a behavioral therapist working with children ages 2-18. I'm also the oldest in my family, so I grew up helping raise all the younger kids. I used to work as a vet tech and I have three dogs of my own, so I'm very comfortable with animals. I'm starting my master's program this fall and looking for a family who needs someone patient, reliable, and experienced.

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
